项目摘要

ABSTRACT The candidate, a Professor of Medicine and Clinical and Translational Research at the University of Pittsburgh, is applying for a K07 to establish a new and novel program, the Long-term Care Research Network (LTCRN). Long-term care (LTC) residents are the most frail and immobile, have the greatest co-morbidity and cost burden to the health care system -- yet little clinical research involves these residents, and practice guidelines for healthy elderly may not be relevant. The long-term objective of this comprehensive program of clinical investigation and training is to enhance the health of older adults residing in long-term care facilities by engaging researchers in relevant and collaborative, multidisciplinary research programs across the University of Pittsburgh. The short-term objective of the program is to build the infrastructure necessary to accomplish the following four interrelated specific aims: 1) Establish a centralized and integrated program at the University of Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) bringing together multidisciplinary collaborative investigators who focus on LTC research to improve health for these patients, 2) Develop a dual recruitment model to facilitate access to both LTC residents and facilities in the greater Pittsburgh area who are willing to participate in clinical research, 3) Provide a LTC mobile laboratory to enhance clinical research that will be performed on site at each LTC facility, and 4) Promote recruitment and training for young investigators interested in LTC research to provide a better understanding of specific LTC research needs. She will accomplish these goals by developing the LTCRN at the University of Pittsburgh, leveraging the considerable resources of the UPMC Aging Institute, The Division of Geriatrics and Gerontology, The Clinical Translational Science Institute and Institute for Clinical Research Education, The Claude Pepper Older American Independence Center (of which she is the PI), the many training programs at the university including her own T32 in Geriatrics and Gerontology, UPMC Senior Communities and the many established senior investigators who are currently engaged in clinical research in the LTC setting. Novel components of this K07 include the development of an umbrella program to bring multidisciplinary investigators together to collaborate, a LTC participant and facility registry, a mobile laboratory to allow investigators to provide on-site evaluations and a personalized training program for both mentees and mentors. The candidate's background as the PI of the Pepper Center and Director of the Pepper training core, NIA funding in LTC research, institutional support, and 10 years of a K24 mentoring award, provides her with the leadership skills, research expertise and experience for a successful and sustainable program.

抽象的该候选人是英国大学医学及临床和转化研究教授匹兹堡正在申请 K07 来建立一个新颖的项目，即长期护理研究网络（LTCRN）。长期护理 (LTC) 居民最虚弱且行动不便，但拥有最大的共病和医疗保健系统的成本负担——但很少有临床研究涉及这些居民和健康老年人的实践指南可能不相关。长期目标这项临床调查和培训的综合计划旨在增强老年人的健康通过让研究人员参与相关和协作，居住在长期护理机构的成年人，匹兹堡大学的多学科研究项目。短期目标该计划旨在建设必要的基础设施，以实现以下四个相互关联的目标具体目标： 1）在匹兹堡大学建立一个集中和综合的项目匹兹堡大学医学中心 (UPMC) 汇集多学科协作专注于 LTC 研究以改善这些患者健康的研究人员，2) 开发双重方便接触大匹兹堡 LTC 居民和设施的招聘模式愿意参与临床研究的地区，3）提供LTC移动实验室，以增强将在每个 LTC 设施现场进行的临床研究，以及 4) 促进招募和为对 LTC 研究感兴趣的年轻研究人员提供培训，以更好地了解特定的 LTC 研究需求。她将通过开发 LTCRN 来实现这些目标匹兹堡大学利用 UPMC 老龄化研究所的大量资源，临床转化科学研究所老年病学和老年学部临床研究教育，克劳德·佩珀老年美国独立中心（其中她是 PI），大学的许多培训项目包括她自己的老年病学 T32 和老年学、UPMC 高级社区和许多资深的高级研究人员目前在 LTC 环境中从事临床研究。该 K07 的新颖组件包括制定一个伞式计划，将多学科研究人员聚集在一起进行合作， LTC 参与者和设施登记处，一个移动实验室，允许调查人员提供现场服务为学员和导师提供评估和个性化培训计划。候选人的担任 Pepper 中心 PI 和 Pepper 培训核心主任，NIA 资助 LTC 研究、机构支持和 10 年 K24 指导奖为她提供了成功和可持续计划的领导技能、研究专业知识和经验。
